Archival Note Card | 1500 Series - #54

Bustling walled city, a green forest, and so many tiny figures all at once.

This is an archival note card from the 1500 series. It is archival paper. Many Indian miniatures draw on the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the stories of Krishna, which painters in several courts and regions returned to again and again. Tightly cropped card packed with pavilions, staircases and gardens. Crowds in turbans and monkeys fill the courtyards, round shields dot the ground, and a white horse stands center. Greens, reds and golds dominate. It is 7 inches long and 5 high.

Look closely and something is always happening.
